Johann van Graan says that Joey Carbery is in “in a good place” both mentally and physically as the out-half edges closer to a first game of rugby in over a year.

Carbery has again increased his training load at the province’s high-performance centre in Limerick this week, though there is yet to be a confirmed return-to-play date as he seeks to finally put a long-term ankle injury behind him.
